SIMON ZEBO<br />
On Tadhg Beirne…<br />
“I am probably even more impressed with<br />
him having been with him and around him as<br />
much as I have been over the last few months.<br />
Obviously, he is an incredible athlete, he is<br />
incredible over the ball, his attacking, his line<br />
of running – everything. He ticks every box for<br />
a second row/back row. The most impressive<br />
thing about him would be his skills - his<br />
offloading ability, his passing ability and just<br />
he is a really smart rugby player. I saw over the<br />
weekend he put in a 50:22 or something or a<br />
pretty good attempt at one anyway so and he<br />
is the full package. His contract is very well<br />
deserved.”<br />
On returning to<br />
<strong>Munster</strong>…<br />
“It has been great for<br />
myself and my family. We are<br />
all really happy. It is my home<br />
club. It is the club I grew up wanting<br />
to play for. Having the opportunity to<br />
come back from Racing and rejoin the<br />
team – I am very grateful for it. To get<br />
to extend my stay is great. I'll just keep<br />
doing what I'm doing and try and put<br />
my best foot forward every week for<br />
<strong>Munster</strong> and see what happens.”<br />
On finding consistency…<br />
“For me personally just trying to<br />
get a run of games and get a nice<br />
rhythm heading into the back end<br />
of the season. I feel fresh. I haven't<br />
played a lot of rugby for one<br />
reason or another so hopefully<br />
now we can get some consistency<br />
and get some rhythm and attack<br />
the final leg of the season and try<br />
and win some silverware.”<br />
